A Tale of Two Speeches
Friday, September 14th, 2012
SU alum Travis Mason (right) giving an award to Dr. Cornel West in 2005.
This post is about two people: one rising star and one Academy Award-winner.
It’s also about two speeches that were given about one week apart. One speech was given at a college convocation; the other at a political convention. One speech is about education; the other is about politics. One speech was given in Syracuse by Travis Mason, a government affairs analyst at Google; the other speech was given by actor/director Clint Eastwood in Tampa.
Can you guess which speech was most effective?
Labor Day Jam
Saturday, September 1st, 2012
Hasan Stephens, aka DJ Maestro, Hip Hop Scholar and Radio Executive, during a lecture at Syracuse University earlier this year.
During recent trips to DMV-area (DC, Maryland and Virginia) and Philadelphia I had the opportunity to experience some diverse radio programming. It was particularly a treat to hear Hip-Hop pioneer Lady B doing a marvelous throw-back show called The Basement Party.
Today I read the DJ Maestro and partners will be starting an online radio vehicle that will enter the urban music market in the area. Labor Day is the launch date.
Below you can hear Maestro talk about the need for diversity in Hip-Hop music during a lecture at Syracuse University earlier this year.
